How We Estimate

To point tasks, the team uses a Fibonacci sequence which maps roughly to the amount of time a task will take (which maps roughly to the complexity of the task). The pointing scale is as follows:

Points	Rough Time Task Will Take

Points	Rough Time Task Will Take
1	1 hour (well-defined, short task)
2	4 hours
3	1 day
5	2.5 days
8	5 days
13	2 weeks
